Berkeley Lab’s Data Science and Technology Department (DST), has an opening for a Data Science and Technology Software Engineer who will join the team on a wide array of research and development projects. This is a great opportunity to be a part of addressing the next generation of science research problems. High quality user interfaces and tools are now critical to all areas of scientific investigation.
The Data Science and Technology Department (DST) develops software and tools to enable scientists to address complex and large-scale computing and data analysis problems beyond what is possible today. DST engages in partnerships with scientists to understand their computing and data analysis challenges to develop leading-edge solutions that fit the needs of the scientists. Current research areas and projects include workflow tools, user-level abstractions for exascale data discovery, development of new techniques to secure high-performance computing and networking environments, computationally-driven discovery of new materials, and processing pipelines for scientific data. More details on projects available on http://dst.lbl.gov/projects.
This position will be hired at a level commensurate with the business needs; and skills, knowledge, and abilities of the successful candidate.
